My New Year's Resolution

My New Year's Resolution was to update my blog more frequently. As with most resolutions, this hasn't happened.

We had a lovely Christmas with my sister's family. They live in Orwell Cove, PEI. It was a very old fashioned holiday. We managed to leave just as a major winter storm was arriving. The snow was starting as we walked up the stairs to get on the plane. Lucky us.

I took a pair of socks to knit on the plane. I had promised Jennifer in the office I'd make them for her birthday (last April!) I finished them and she loves wearing them on really cold days.

I finished another pair of socks which I gave to Lalenie. She is our shipper. She very kindly made my father a batch of her wonderful tea biscuits and wouldn't let him pay for the ingredients, so I made her the socks. She says she's going to wear them tomorrow since we're expecting another bad storm.

I'm now working on a pair of socks for myself out of Lang's Jawoll Aktion. Jawoll has always been my favourite sock yarn because it has a spool of re-inforcing thread inside the ball. It is dyed to match the striping pattern of the yarn.

We got our shipment of Cloud Cotton in last week. It is such beautiful, organic cotton. It doesn't even feel like cotton when you knit with it. I'm still trying to decide which colour I want. I'm leaning toward the darkest blue but there's no hurry.

That's it for now. I'll bring my camera in to take a picture of my socks.

Happy Knitting!
